Where Are GreedFall Save Files Located?

GreedFall keeps .fsav saves and its graphics config together in Documents\GreedFall on Windows.

Last updated

GreedFall puts everything in one Documents folder: timestamped .fsav saves, autosaves, the graphics config and the profile with remaining settings. A single folder copy captures the lot.

Two nuisances recur. OneDrive relocates Documents and strands the game looking at the old path, and Controlled Folder Access or antivirus can silently block new saves. When saving fails, check those before reinstalling.

Where GreedFall stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GreedFall

Saves look like save_19-09-2019_23-57-51.fsav plus autosave files. graphicconfig.txt holds display settings. If the folder is missing, search the disk for *.fsav and check OneDrive's Documents copy.

Linux
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/606880/pfx/

Proton prefix, app ID 606880. The Documents\GreedFall tree is mirrored inside drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents.

Frequently asked questions

how do i back up greedfall saves

Copy %USERPROFILE%\Documents\GreedFall with the game closed. That folder holds saves and settings together, so restoring it brings back the full setup.

greedfall cannot save, the folder exists, what now

Confirm the folder is not read only, then whitelist GreedFall.exe in antivirus and Windows Controlled Folder Access. OneDrive users should check whether Documents moved into the OneDrive tree.
